An Interview with Jeremy Bulloch

Jeremy Bulloch started his illustrious and successful acting career in 1950 at the tender age of 5 when he appeared in his first school play and hasn't looked back since.  Destined for the acting profession he attended the Corona Academy Drama School, and made his first professional appearance aged twelve when he appeared in a breakfast cereal commercial.

Appearing many times on children's television, Jeremy's big break came in 1963 at the age of just 17 when he landed a major role in Summer Holiday, which starred Sir Cliff himself. Not long after this, he became a household name by starring in a BBC Soap Opera called The Newcomers, which ran for 3 years. In 1969, Jeremy was off to Madrid in Spain to play the leading role in a musical film called Las Leandras and this was followed by two other major films:  The Virgin and the Gypsy (1970) and Mary Queen of Scots (1971).

Day 7 - The Time Warrior and Day 8 - The Space Museum plus an exciting announcement

 Day 7 - For day 7 of our year with the Doctor we took an adventure into the medieval times with Sarah Jane and the Third doctor, Jon Pertwee, in 'The Time Warrior'. This episode which aired over Christmas and New Year in 1973 during the Doctor's eleventh season, was Sarah Jane's introductory episode as well as the debut of the Sontarons. This episode was packed full of fire, explosives and sword fighting and the perfect way to introduce Sarah Jane and her thirst for adventure.

Day 8 - On day 8 we decided to go back to William Hartnell's era choosing the well loved and very ahead of its time 'The Space Museum' episode featuring Barbara White, Ian Chesterton and Vicki. This episode aired during the second season of Doctor Who back in 1965.


Now why did we choose these episodes specifically you might ask? Well these episodes have a common denominator which really stood out to us, both of these episodes feature the actor Jeremy Bulloch. Jeremy, most commonly known for his role as Boba Fett in Star Wars appeared as 'Hal' a loyal and talented bowman in 'The Time Warrior' and 'Tor' a Xeron rebel in 'The Space Museum'. We were able to get into contact with the man himself and he has agreed to participate in an online interview with us for this blog about his time on Doctor Who. We're both really excited to get the opportunity to speak with him as we have met him multiple times at events and have always loved spending time with him.

If you have any questions that you'd like us to ask please let us know ASAP.

In the meantime reviews of 'The Time Warrior' and 'The Space Museum' to follow. Thank you for reading ... :)
